BREAKING: Five players have been suspended for 49ers vs. the Rams game.
Kickoff for Sunday’s season finale between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams is scheduled for 1:25 PM.
The 49ers have already secured the top seed going into Week 18, but most of their starters will likely play in some capacity. Nevertheless, they have a number of players rested, which should enable some of them to play a bigger part against the Rams.
Having said that, here are seven players to keep an eye on in the 49ers vs. Rams Week 18 encounter.
Jordan Mason, RB
One of the six 49ers who are anticipated to miss Sunday’s game is running back Christian McCaffrey. The star has been dealing with a calf injury that has kept him out of the second half of last weekend’s game against the Washington Commanders.
Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason, the backups, are anticipated to handle the majority of the running back carries with McCaffrey sidelined.
